THE Nashville Union is no more.
The editor Of the Union scooped the
American, and now the American
has scooped the Union. But the
Union died game; its last issue,
Thursday, June ID, was one of the
brightest and spiciest ever issued from
the Office. The paper had many
friends and admirers, who regret its
untimely spiriting away to the
unhappy hunting grounds of defunct
newspapers. 1t is consolation to
the admirers of the Union, however,
to know that it will live again in the
American-but it's mighty rough on
the American.

THERE is just now considerable
speculation afloat as to what has be-
come of the Tennessee Midland rail
road project. Articles have appeared
in the Chattanooga Times and in sew
eral East Tennessee papers stating
that the charter and franchises of the
road had been sold out, lock, stock,
and barrel, either to the l.. u n.
Railroad, or to the E. II. V. g. G.,
and that all the engineers had been
paid off and. withdrawn from the
field. These statements, however,
are denied by the Memphis papers.
The corps of Engineers who had
been surveying QUITE rOut for the
road through this county passed
through McMinnville last Saturday,
and stated here that they had been
ordered to other work in Mississippi.
They seemed to be under the impress
sion that the Midland road had been
ScOoped. The Midland officials have
always been very reticent about their
plans, at least through this portion OF

GEO. William Curtis, the Mug
wump Tycoon, gives it as his opin-
ion that both Cleveland aud Blaine
will be re-nominated in 1888. A
refusal to nominate Cleveland will
be confession on the part of the
democracy that its first national
success in quarter of century has
been a failure. Mr.. Curtis thinks
also, that Mr.. Cleveland having
made himself obnoxious to the rank
and file of his party, could not be
reelected. Tammany Hall would
lose him New York State.
He regards Mr.. Blaine as the
most popular leader of his party.
His friends will insist that if he is not
re-nominated his defeat will admit
the truth of all the sins of omission
and commission charged against
him during the progress of the late
campaign, and they will not suffer
so great injustice to be done to their
fayoritc. 1t must again be Blaine
and defeat.
Mr.. Curtis is distinguished
Mugwump; he is a keen-sighted pol
itician, and is noted as logiclan:
but how he can predict that the next
presidential candidates will be
Blaine and Cleveland, and that
neither of them can be elected, is
too much of conundrum to be
clear to our simple mind. Perhaps
he is planning for third party can
didate backed by civil service re.
formers and the handful of mug
wumps who defeated Blaine.

the passage of the Coertion bill for
Ireland. There were present little

fire of words was kept up till late
hour. Several smooth bore demo

Lord Chamberlain and the OPP
pressors of Ireland generally but
their range will prove too short, as
the bill will pass next week by an

WILL HE SIGN IT.

A pension bill has passed both houses
of congress providing for the pension
ing of all soldiers who are dependent
upon their daily toll for support, and
are unable through injuries received
while in the service of their country to
do that labor, shall receive an allow
ance of $1,000 per month. 1t now re-
mains with president Cleveland to sign
or veto the bill.
The Sunday Telegraph speaks editor
tally as follows: If the new pension bill
becomes law it will be the means of
taking out of poor houses from 1900 to
10000 veteran soldiers. It will give to
the families of thousands of men who
are in insane asylums pension. It
will reach large class of the most
worthy and the bravest men who offer
ed their lives in defense of their coun-
trv.
The bill was formulated by committee
chosen from the Grand Army of the
Republic to look after interests before
congress, on which committee there
were republicans and democrats, and
no pains were spared to so present it to
our national legislators as to exhibit it
in its true light. Congress understood
it, perfectly, and looked upon it intelli-
gently and in passing it acted wisely
and periodically. Suppose this new
bill does take from the United States
treasury ten, twenty, or even forty
millions Of dollars? Ought this rich
government of between sixty and seven
ty millions of people, and growing
richer every year by the hundreds of
millions, to hesitate? But for the hero
ism of the men who are to be pensioned
by the new law there would not be any
United States government. The sol
diers who are not getting pensions, and
who do not need or want pensions, but
who do want this bill to. become law,
are not asking for the law as an act of
charity to their broken down wrecked
comrades, but they ask it as right;
they ask it because those who are to be
benefited, earned it thousand times
over. 4 Nearly every man
who in the past has favored the univer-
sal pension law favored it for the
purpose of reaching just the classes that
the new bill will reach, and if this
becomes law there will be no more
clamor for the universal law. If Presi-
dent Cleveland listens to the appeals of
those who desire to defeat this just
measure and vetoes the bill, he will 60
out of the presidency the most unpopu-
lar man who has ever held the office,
and he will go out to stay out of any
and every office Of honor and trust
The old soldiers will watch President
Clevelands actions on this bill with
great anxiety.

Fine Art.

The study of art in this country has,
within the past years, received great
impulse. Art 81 hOOls in our large cities
are filled with Earnest pupils, and there
is scarcely vi llage or hamlet which
does not aspire to furnish its quota for
the coming gen Grafton of artists. While
every enthusiastic student of art is by
no means of Horn artist, there is no
reason why all intelligent men and wo-
men should not have some knowledge of
the fundamenta al principles of art, and
be able to exerc else wise and discrimi-
nation in their appreciation of works of
real or fancied merit.
To encourage and stimulate the growth
of this interest in the study Of art, the
Chautauqua society of Fine Arts was
organized nearly two years ago. The
work of this orr anization is carried on
entirely by cor dependence (the annual
membership fe e being fifty cents), and
the society is steadily growing. Thou
sands of memHe rs are at work, and the
art director, Mr.. Frank Fowler of New
York, is more than pleased with the
progress of hi pupils, and with the
many letters he has received from them,
thanking him for the benefit derived
from his critici$ SIMS.

MISCHIEVOUS TEACHING.

An address upon Labor Combina-
tons" was delivered at Madison yester-
day by President John Bascom, of the
State University. Were it as sound as
it is forcible, it would deserve to rank
as one of the classics of the pending
labor controversy. But being unsound,
while yet strongly presented and influ-
entail, the address has in it the
possibilities of much injury.
"On the WHOLE" President Bascom
declared with great positiveness, ''labor
strikes have wrought more good than
mischief" The effect of such an
utterance from such source is to
encourage the employment of the strike
remedy, and thus to entail loss and
misery and decentralization under which
the workers for wages (whose special
champion President Bascom isl, will be
the greatest sufferers. AS matter of
popular sentiment and belief, the
labor strikes in this country have
wrought incomparably more mischief
bluh SoOo. LCC WIZ Will ti1clI
families have had personal experience
of all the ills attendant upon long-con-
tinued strikes, testify whether this is
not true. They, rather than Theorist
Bascom, will be deemed the better
authority.
President Bascom also said: 81 think
the employer has no just right to say to
many hundred workmen, I will manage
my own BUSINESS the nation is interest
ed in the matter, not alone the employ
err" Well, it is equally true that the
state of Wisconsin-its officials and
citizens-and not alone President
Bascom, is interested in the State
University. Yet when President
Bascom said, as vas his right" will
manage my own business" and was
gainsaid in that purpose by his regents
or professors, he resigned. He knew
there could be no successful administra-
ton except he held the reins in his owe
hands. Can one set of laws govern in a
mandatory which makes steam engines
and wholly different set in a manufac-
tory which makes scholars? If the
President were honest in what he says,
he could not resent interference in his
management of the university.
In the noble employment of educat-
ing the young, President Bascom is a
practical man and leader. Outside
his vocation he is a theorist and mis-.
| chief-maker to be feared because of his
unquestioned Intellectual strength.
| With all his learning he seems to
have failed to learn the homely pri.
mary lesson essential to permanent
success anywhere-"Stick to your
trade. III Evening Wisconsin.
